The only reason it's over the top is due the the penetration factor, but as far as everything else it's actually absolutely perfect.
The magazine has a 30 rnd capacity, but I just keep 20 in each clip, and that's not really any more than some pistol clips capacity.
Anyway though I'm interested to know if you're actually knowledgeable about oxets, case's length, and cartilages all together enough to make such assumptions?
They did sell short range rounds for the AK, but I missed out on that promotional deal, and now they're just as expensive as normal rounds, but just further more for your information after a terrible conflict I bought a shotgun eventually. I recently took this out of the case, because I may have to worry about 4 gentlemen trying to kill me, and do god, knows what to my girlfriend after I ruin their lives for their acts against humanity.
In any case just know this:
if you ever actually need a gun, and are fortunate enough to own one you will never be more thankful anything else you possess in your life. The AK-47 is the most battle hardened, and proven for reliability rifle I know of beside the M1s or type rifles.
I'll even admit that I liked the idea of being able to take on a bad guy, and have the awesome gun to kill them, but it aint fun like that at all, because when you have a drawn rifle it truly does feel like just a piece of long metal with a bunch of metal mechanisms inside of it. It's actually so terrifying that you can't stop shaking for almost an hour, and your finger on a trigger is an ultimately sickening feeling when your rifle is drawn. If it weren't for me have my physical condition I guess I would have thrown up.
Get a rifle such as like one that can give you reliable protection, because when it comes down to a situation where you're the only one around God, just watches. The police, even if after called are 15 minutes away if you're lucky, and may not even show up, but in any case in the conflict that I was in the didn't even show up until the guy drove away. It's not about being tough, and thinking guns are cool, but simply being civilized.
Even a 13 yr old Canadian girls agree
